Funny...i was going to ask a similar question. I'm 2 weeks out and I hear people who hv lost 20 some lbs and I lost maybe 3 or 4 the 1st week and 0 this week....its discouraging. Even though I KNOW all the right things (everyone's different, it's a marathon, give your body a chance) I'd just like to see some reward for all the water drinkin', soup slurpin' says that I've been trying so hard with. I'm sure you all understand. I'm glad about this forum because there's so much support. And when I get hung up on that I can move on after reading some encouraging words and read some other great info on another topic!

So much inspiration tonite (This morning)! I have had chronic pain for many years with osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. I was able to lose 75 lb on my own several years ago and hv kept it off. Due to pain and fatigue unable to continue losing. This will be my shot at a better life too. It makes me so happy to hear the health related success that so many of you have had. I'm looking forward to some as well!!

Wow you guys!! Inspirational! Thanks! (2 weeks out)

Thank you..wil do! : )

Good luck OCTOBER!!

October 17th!! Hv been a little nauseated the past 2 days. Tough to eat or drink. But making sure to get my protein in and trying so hard to get my 64 oz of fluid

Ok now....i can't seem to find a way into my stats!! Durr! Technology eludes me- something this simple! But Raynbolite ...a protein shake would NEVER do us wrong!

Don't know...mines 56.7 per TBSP I love it too!

That was a serious bash over someone trying an alternative product. In my opinion it's a great idea to look for healthy alternatives. Ive been filling down time enjoying my online hunt! It's kind of exciting to find one that just might work for YOU. And at the end of the day who do you hv to answer to? Good luck! I hv arthritis and fibro too (def didn't want a knee transplant!)

Made a mistake!!!! It's the VITAMIN WORLD BRAND!! SOOO sorry ( let's attribute that to pain meds! Eek!)

For some reason my phone isn't allowing me to fill these out. Am I missing something?

2nd week out around 500 cal

GENEPRO is amazing!

Im LACTOSE INTOLERANT and 1 week out There are so many PROTIEN types out there and frankly I'm looking for some that pack a big bang for the serving! *who wants to sip protein all day LOL. Many of these seem to include whey Anyone else LI hv any info about whey protein you could share w me? Does it involve lactose?? I usually don't !????Thanks!!

THANKS EVERYONE! I gave it a shot! Had hubby get me some GENEPRO Medical Grade flavorless whey protein from GNC. It includes enzymes to help break down the protein I guess. Apparently from what GNU rep said many do and they are listed on label since whey is difficult to break down for everyone( who knew!!) Tried it last night a couple times and tolerated it very well. I'd recommend this brand. I was even able to sprinkle on JELLO and wasn't any taste (to me anyway) Hving it in c.f. iced tea now. 1 tBsp is 30g of protein. I think this will go a LONG WAY in helping me get my protein in daily!

Same I had surgery on the 17th why this awful diarrhea the past 24 hours. Scared to eat my delicious full liquids LOL. I was thinking flu bug or something. I'm wiped

That cookbook from Amazon looks great and it's about $6 off right now! I'm ordering it...thanks????

The GNC brand of bottled fruit flavored liquid Isopure is very carbonated (even though the store manager assured me they were not) So steer clear of those! Even blending and leaving it stand open in fridge overnight didn't allow the carbonation to come out!!

I had my surgery on Monday. Hv had same experience in my face. Mine happens late afternoon/ early evening and is accompanied by low grade temp. I was told a random low grade temp would be normal following this surgery. Anything over 101 was concern Good luck.
